Debt Management
Your honour
Dear Sir,
Dear Mr. Nwankwo
March 5, 2013's
The Nation article "Nigeria's external debt hits USD 6.5 Billion,
domestic NGN 6.5 Trillion (value roughly USD 38.0 Billion" drew my
attention to a problem which we solved at my former employer, a worldwidely operating insurance company,
in the eighties regarding cashflow as well as liquidity management with
horizon of 20 years. Based on ideas due to my 6 years' experience - I
started my activity at ZFS in 1977 - we developped a software meant to
manage all in- and liquidity outflows with a time horizon up to 12
months rolling forward showing our needs on a daily basis as well on a
cumulative basis.
The software allowed to show what sources the liquidity was derived from as well as to which sources they were allocated to.
Given
my practical as well as intellectual experience in the finance sector of
more than thirty years - management of debt obligations, management of
bond portfolios, management of cash as well as liquidity management,
foreign exchange and stock exchange - I believe to be the right person
to share my knowledge with the Debt Management Office of Nigeria.
I am looking forward to your affirmative answer.
Truly, yours
Thomas Ramseyer
